Nui simmo povere venimo da casoria,
Casoria e Messina simmo povere pelerine




Overall Meaning

The song Tarantella by Die Irrlichter speaks of the poverty and struggle faced by the people from Casoria and Messina. The first line, "Nui simmo povere venimo da Casoria" translates to "We are poor, we come from Casoria". The second line, "Casoria e Messina simmo povere pelerine" means "Casoria and Messina, we are poor wanderers". The term "pelerine" refers to a medieval cloak worn by travelers and pilgrims, further emphasizing their status as wanderers.


The lyrics of the song convey a sense of unity and solidarity among the poor people from these regions. The use of the word "nui" instead of the more common "noi" in Italian is also significant, as it is a dialectal variation that reinforces their shared identity and culture. The song also mentions the tarantella, a lively folk dance that originated in southern Italy, which serves as a symbol of their resilience and joy in the face of adversity.


Overall, Tarantella is a powerful reminder of the struggles and hardships faced by many communities in Italy, and the determination to overcome them through music, dance, and solidarity.

Wirklich phantastisch! Ich finde das Stück sehr mitreißend und würde es gerne selber lernen. Gibt es irgendwo Noten dafür?

@MaxMustermann-ye6tt

absolut phantastisches Flötenspiel. Ich bringe mir seit ca. einem Jahr selbst das Blockflötenspiel bei und habe mir das Stück gerade mind. 30x hintereinander angehört, weil ich total fasziniert davon bin. Ist es möglich, die Noten zu bekommen?
